| Building Summary | California College of Arts San Francisco Campus, originally designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill-SOM and renovated and converted by LMS Architects, at San Francisco, California, 1951, renovated and converted 1997 to 1998. An industrial maintenance facility converted to art college, with long-span concrete frame and glass construction, in a mild temperate climate and urban context. A high-sustainability building, based on extensive daylighting, solar hydronic heating, and natural ventilation. |

| Interior Construction | This project renovates the cavernous maintenance garage, a 150 ft. wide by 400 ft. long clear-span space characterized by its muscular structural expression, monumental volume and abundant natural light. Thirty-foot high glass curtain walls on three sides of the space and large skylights overhead accentuate the rhythm of huge, tapered concrete roof beams. The interior of the space enjoys dramatic views of downtown San Francisco and nearby residential areas.
